Welcome to Nolan Benoit, who has just started his PhD with me. He is my first PhD student (bear with me!), and he will focus on the effects of PFAS contamination on immunity and survival in different seabird populations."

Pesticides : Mort aux piafs avec le tébuconazole | Le Canard enchaîné Très utilisé dans l'agriculture, ce fongicide se révèle diablement efficace pour nuire à la reproduction des oiseaux. Les toxicologues ont beau alerter la Commission……

🐝Vous avez aimé l’acétamipride, ce pesticide tueur d’abeilles que voulait réautoriser la loi Duplomb ? Vous allez adorer le tébuconazole, un fongicide agricole qui empoisonne en masse les oiseaux.

Sampling for #PFAS in yellow-legged gulls at Île de Ré. Thanks to the long-term partnership with RN Lilleau des Niges and LPO Aquitaine.

Today was the first field day of the season for our #housesparrow 🐦 studies with my new team of three great students from @univ-larochelle.fr. Several nest boxes occupied, but must of all, a clutch with already five eggs 🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚

New paper!
Legacy and emerging #PFAS in eggs of yellow-legged gulls from Marseille, France.
PFOS was the most abundant legacy compound.
Emerging PFAS were detected in most eggs.

One of the most widely used fungicides in farming harmful to reproduction in birds

Our latest study is online! 🐣

We show that tebuconazole, a widely used fungicide, significantly reduces growth and survival of house sparrow chicks at concentrations similar to those found in birds from intensive vineyard areas !

A new study about Hg contamination in common terns is out! We found that breeding pairs have similar Hg levels and this level also reflect the contamination of their eggs. Follow the link for more :

We looked at incubating common eiders 🦆 responses to repeated human approaches (mirroring a predation attempt 🦅).
Individuals differed in their response and this was linked to variation in reproductive investment and perceived threat level
